As Forensic toxicology is a vital part of human remain analyse it is dependent on good analytical techniques and as such scientist are working hard to come up with better analytical techniques to screen the various different types of human remains ( Tolliver, S, 2010).
Forensic chemists are beginning to look into combining Pharmocogentics and forensic toxicology to look deeper into the way our bodies react to drugs chemically, genetically, and psychologically (Mushoff, F 2010). This new technique would enable the scientist to have a better understanding of how the drug affected the human that remains they are analysing (Mushoff, F 2010). This could then lead to a better conclusion being formed.
These studies are only new however and will require a lot more testing before they can be proved to be accurate enough to rely upon (Tolliver, S, 2010). The techniques that forensic toxicologist use in the present are satisfactory however and produce reliable results that effectively analyse any drug or poison that may appear in human remains allowing this form of scientific analysis to be well trusted and relied upon (Sergi M et al. 2012).
